Look! It's me in the Local Paper
Most local papers will print any old rubbish. Far, far too many years ago I got into the Windsor, Slough and Eton Express after winning a fancy-dressed-bicycle competition. What they neglected to mention was that I was the only entrant.
What sad stuff have you been in your local rag for doing? Scan stuff in and show us if you can.

Reign of terror
Back when I was younger and did a lot of local Live Role Playing Games we found out that there were regular reports in the Leicester Mercury about the gang warfare and satanic rituals being enacted on Aylestone Meadows (where we played) - there weren't any it was us!
But the best one. For a one off game, based on 'Aliens', the Armed Response Unit was called out (even though we'd informed the police in advance - twunts didn't think to check). There were some great quotes in everything from the Mercury to Radio 1!
Some notables:
"I knew it wasn't real when the dead people stood up and lit a cigarette"
"Entirely too realistic for my liking" - This was from the pissed off sergeant in charge of the ARU.
